Abstract

The work deals with the main challenges of urban logistics, being the place where most people live and the center of commercial exchanges in the national territory. The text intends to point the attention to the studies of the logistics in relation to the territory and the geographic variables of the urban and metropolitan areas. There are new challenges for logistics in urban areas and they were discussed in this work as elements of theoretical and methodological reflection: e-commerce and city logistics. The objective of the research is to show the approaches and the relevant characteristics of the spatial dimensions and their relations so that they are discussed and incorporated as a permanent basis in basic logistics studies. The elements that add value in the analysis were the knowledge of the flows of the movement of the goods, the use of the soil and the relations between real and virtual places in the cities, in order to find a strategy for the management of the set of the primary activities (transport, stock and warehouse) and more efficient complementaries for each place, considering the high cost of existing opportunities in the metropolises. Keywords: e-commerce, urban logistics, urban transport
